Guide Dogs for the Blind, we have three core client programs: Guide Dog Program: matching people with highly-trained guide dogs. Orientation & Mobility Immersion Program: teaching orientation and mobility tactics for safe, independent travel, including the skills that are most relevant to guide dog mobility. K9 Buddy Program: matching both children and adults with specially selected dogs to be their pets and companions. We also have a lineup of informational events (both in person and virtual) for people interested in learning more about our programs and the guide dog lifestyle, as well as comprehensive programs for youth and young adults. All of our services are provided free of charge, and we serve people from throughout the United States and Canada.

My wife and I have raised 21 puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. The organization is one of the finest philanthropic groups in the world. Their compassion and dedication to their clients permeates everything they do and we are proud to have been able to add our small sliver of help to a wonderful group.

Dialogue for the blind is a great place. Did you everything they can to make you feel good as your getting trained for your dog. The ground with a way to help with any issues you have or take every problems you might have. Highly recommended if you are looking for a guide dog in you have mobility training and think you couldn't handle the responsibility in the experience. I enjoy the experience and look forward to my new guide.Dialogue for the blind is a great place. Did you everything they can to make you feel good as your getting trained for your dog.

Had a bad experience with a member of the Seattle chapter (woman with an Australian accent) who told me to social distance and keep away, whereas it was okay when a caucasian person stood near her. I'm not affiliated with this group but they seemed to be on a trip of volunteers/staff at Blake Island where I was visiting and this person was basically treating me like a second class citizen and less than human when I tried my best to give them space and social distance. I can only assume (and in my own opinion from my interaction that day) that this is what the culture embraces at Guide Dogs for the Blind (at least for the Seattle chapter). As an ethnic minority, I can only warn people of my experience with this org.
